【推荐1】If you’re able to, wandering the streets of a new city on foot is an unrivalled way to take in all the sights and sounds. And there’s no denying that walking is a much more eco (and wallet) friendly form of transport, too. To help you get out and explore, language learning platform Preply has ranked Europe’s most walkable cities. They analyzed the walking distance between top attractions and now reveal which cities in Europe are the easiest to explore on foot.
Seville, Spain
Visitors to this charming Spanish city can explore the impressive Plaza de Espana public square, before wandering over to the UNESCO-listed palace of Real Alcazar and Seville Cathedral. With just 20 minutes of walking between these attractions, you can really make the most of your time here.
Venice, Italy
Venice is renowned as a heaven for pedestrians, so it’s no surprise it ranks as the second best location for walkable city breaks. There are endless attractive alleyways to explore, as well as plenty of stunningly ornate (华丽的) bridges over the crisscrossing canals that the city is famed for. Just under half an hour of walking here will take you on a tour of the impressive Grand Canal, Doge’s Palace, St Mark’s Square and so on, all in only 1.3 miles.
Florence, Italy
In only 33 minutes, visitors can take in the splendor of Florence’s top-tier destinations. A 1.6 mile route covers the awe-inspiring Piazzale Michelangelo; the renowned Uffizi Gallery; and the Galleria dell’ Accademia, home to Michelangelo’s masterpiece, the statue of David.
Athens, Greece
The capital of Greece ranks in fourth, with a slightly longer — but very worthwhile — route of 2.1 miles between its top-rated tourist attractions. Visitors to Athens can begin their journey at the Acropolis, ascending to discover the ancient Parthenon that stands as a testament to the city’s ancient legacy. The National Archaeological Museum is also close-by.
1. How has Preply ranked the four cities?| A．By the number of the tourist attractions. | B．By the expenses of traveling in the cities. |
| C．By the popularity among the young visitors. | D．By the walking distance between attractions. |
| A．Seville. | B．Venice. | C．Florence. | D．Athens. |
| A．Seville Cathedral. | B．St Mark’s Square. |
| C．The Galleria dell’ Accademia. | D．The Acropolis. |
【推荐2】Whichever region you decide to explore in Spain, you’ll find a beautiful beach. There people from all walks of life can have many adventures.
Cala Algaiarens, Menorca
With soft golden sand and clear water, this beach is perfect for snorkeling (潜泳) and exploring underwater caves. It is not a public beach, so tourists have to pay an entrance fee. Sometimes, the waves can be huge, so it isn’t a good choice for kids.
Cala Tarida, Ibiza
It is a good place for you to spend a sunny day if you are in Ibiza. It is also a perfect spot for couples who want to escape the crowd. You can also take part in big music festivals here. Besides, you can just relax on the white sand or go snorkeling in the clear water.
La Concha Beach, San Sebastián
It has been called the best beach not just in Spain, but also in Europe. As it is a beach located in the very middle of the city, it could be somewhat difficult to get there by car. Even though the beach is a 10-minute walk from the city, the white sand and the amazing clear water do a great job of reinventing it as a new world.
Sotavento, Canary Islands
It offers 17 miles of white sandy beach. It is one of the most beautiful locations on the coast of Fuerteventura, the second-largest island of the Canary Islands. The special part of the beach is its strong wind, so it is a perfect place for kite flyers. The beach also hosts the popular World Kite Surf Championship every August.
1. Why aren’t kids advised to visit Cala Algaiarens?| A．Because there are lots of rocks. |
| B．Because it is not a public beach. |
| C．Because there are many underwater caves. |
| D．Because the waves there can be dangerous sometimes. |

【推荐3】Located three hours’ drive north west of the capital, San Jose, the town of La Fortuna offers a springboard (跳板) to explore the landscape around the inactive Arenal Volcano. The smoke may have stopped a decade ago, but the volcanic energy still inspires adventure here.
HIKING IN ARENAL NATIONAL PARK
There are dozens of trails in the region but hiking Arenal National Park on the lake side of the volcano offers the chance to lose oneself in nature. There are newly improved steps leading to viewing platforms of the volcano. Out on the trail there are scores of bird species to spot. Guided tour and hot-spring visit with Anywhere from $131 (£97). anywhere.com
WHITE WATER RAFTING
As well as its volcanic centrepiece, the remarkable topography (地形) of the Arenal region offers ideal conditions for white water rafting. A number of tours are bookable in La Fortuna, the most adventurous of which take you to nine-mile sections of the Balsa River, where you’ll battle Class IV rapids (急流). Tours from $68 (£50). arenalrafting.com
LA FORTUNA WATERFALL
The steep hike down to the base of La Fortuna Waterfall will inspire a sense of foreboding in some travelers. The good news is that the sweaty trip offers a 230ft waterfall — one of the most beautiful in the country — as a reward. It’s so picture-perfect that locals are often spotted in or around the plunge pool posing for wedding photos. Entry $18 (£13). cataratalafortuna.com
HANGING BRIDGES OF MISTICO PARK
This cleverly designed forest walk uses a combination of six suspension bridges and hairpin bends to offer continuous surprises and great access to jungle wildlife, including toucans and hummingbirds (蜂鸟). When you cross the bridges, looking out rather than down is rarely more rewarding — the park has great views of waterfalls, canyons and the Arenal Volcano. Head out to explore alone or book onto a natural history or nighttime tour. Entry from $26 (£19). misticopark.com
